I need to know how to graph the following equation in a ti 84 plus calculator:
y=1.475x+30
y=.850x+77.5
I also need to know how to see where those lines intersect. thank you
The calculator only displays from -10 to 10 on the x and y axes, and both of your lines are outside of that range. However, it is easy to change that.
1. Hit the gray "WINDOW" button that is directly under the screen
2. Change "Xmax" to 150
3. Change "Ymax" to 200
Remember to change both of those values back to 10 when you are done with this problem!
Here's how to graph it:
1. Hit the "Y=" button
2. Enter your first equation after Y1, and your second equation after Y2
3. Look over both the equations to make sure you typed them correctly
4. Hit the "GRAPH" button
5. If you don't see the intersection you will need to adjust Xmax and Ymax again
6. Hit Hit "2ND" and the "TRACE" to bring up the "CALC" menu
7. Scroll down to "intersect" and hit enter
8. Hit enter 3 times (You use the first and second curve options when you have more than 2 lines)
9. It should display the coordinates at the bottom
10. I got (76, 142.1) for the intersection
Thanks for asking this question! I used to do this a much harder way, but while I was calculating the answer to your question I hit a wrong button and accidentally found this method!
